Legal Question in Employment Law in Michigan

Re: Vacation Pay

Both the U.S. Department of Labor and the Michigan Department of Labor have divisions devoted to wage & hour matters. They have some enforcement powers to compel employers to pay earned amounts for wages. If the vacation pay policy is in writing and states that you will be paid for unused earned vacation time, then they may intervene on your behalf. You may contact a local office for either the U.S. or Michigan Department of Labor and ask to be directed to the person in charge of wage/hour matters.

This response is not intended as legal advice. Your rights and obligations will depend upon the particular facts and circumstances affecting this matter. You should consult an attorney in your area to discuss all of the relevant facts and circumstances. No attorney/client relationship is created as a result of this response.
